  10. Spartan Military • All Spartan men were in the army until age 60. • One mother told her son: “Come home carrying your shield or being carried on it” • Military was the priority in Sparta

  11. Spartan Women • Spartan women enjoyed more freedom than most Greek women. • Girls were trained in sports like running, wrestling, and javelin throwing. • Wives stayed at home while their husbands lived in the barracks. • This meant they could own property and go where they wanted!
